Market Value Context for Collectors
Based on three recent public auction results for Series 2013B matched pairs graded in ranges comparable to Project 2013B’s estimated condition of this pair, examples have realized hammer prices between $600 and $3,100. The newly confirmed pair discussed above is currently ungraded; Project 2013B’s grade assessment represents an educated estimate only, intended to provide context should the co-owners elect third-party grading by PCGS Banknote or PMG. Actual market value may vary depending on final certified grades, eye appeal, and auction conditions.
Recent auction results suggest that the market value of confirmed Series 2013B matched pairs—often classified as serial number errors—can vary significantly based on condition, professional PCGS or PMG grading, and overall paper money eye appeal.
Recent Auction Results for Comparable Matched Pairs
The confirmed pair discussed above is ungraded. The auction results below show how
broadly comparable matched pairs have performed across varying grade combinations.
Selected public auction results used for currency appraisal and paper money value comparison of confirmed Series 2013B matched pairs in comparable circulated condition.
Collectors evaluating whether to buy, sell, or submit a matched pair for grading often use recent auction prices as a benchmark. Unfortunately, some combination of grades have never gone to auction, while other grade combinations have only one auction result (and possibly from several years ago).
Differences in hammer price largely reflect the lower of the two grades in each matched pair,
as collectors typically price pairs based on the weaker note.
Key Factors Influencing 2013B Value
Prices reflect public auction results only and are provided for historical reference.
Individual outcomes vary based on condition, eye appeal, grading, and market demand.
Grading: Notes certified by PMG or PCGS Banknote Grading command a premium over raw or ungraded pairs due to higher perceived paper money value.
Condition Floor: The market value of a matched pair is usually dictated by the lower-graded note in the set.
Provenance: Inclusion in the Project 2013B Registry adds a layer of verified authenticity that influences auction competitiveness.
Serial Number Errors: Confirmed duplicate serial numbers are a recognized form of serial number errors within U.S. paper money collecting.
Timing of sale and auction visibility
Error Classification: While not misprinted banknotes, matched pairs are often collected alongside other recognized U.S. currency error types.
Market prices fluctuate based on collector demand and availability. All values shown are historical references and should not be considered a formal currency appraisal.

Potential Match — Verification Pending
Project 2013B maintains a separate reference page listing serial numbers associated with potential matched pairs where one or both co-owners have not yet responded to our email notification. These entries remain unconfirmed until photo verification is completed for both notes.
Collectors are encouraged to review this list to see whether a serial number they own appears. If your serial number is listed, you may be connected to a potential matched pair and your response could allow the pair to be officially confirmed and recorded in the Project 2013B registry.
If you believe you should have received a notification but do not see it in your inbox, please check your spam or junk mail folder. Project 2013B notifications are occasionally filtered by email providers.
